Hi Donnie,
My name is Jimmy, I live in Xenia. I came across a link to your site this morning and decided to relay something to you that happened to me years back that still gives me a lot of trouble to this day. I have to tell you that I don't know that I'd want to ever be hypnotized. I don't know very much about hypnotism but I definitely would not want to put in a state where I was seeing all this as if it were really happening again. What I'm really looking for here I guess is just a confirmation as to whether or not you've ever heard of anything like this before. Is it common? Are there other people out there who went through this around the same time period? I mean I definitely don't want to waste your time so if you need to, just file this away in the back of your head for future ref. should you run across anything similar. I DO thank you for taking the time to read over this though, I just don't know where else to go with it.
I was born and raised here in Xenia and though I moved to Indianapolis for a few years at one point for a few years I've spent most of my life here. When I was about 13 years old I remember waking up suddenly one night and realizing that I was not in bed. I was sitting against the wall in a little utility room inside our house. It's just a small room next to the bathroom where we had our dryer and where dad had some shelves full of an old cologne collection of his where the bottles were modeled after old cars and stuff. I was completely awake and coherent. Right away I noticed that there was someone sitting directly across from me, on the floor against the clothes dryer and facing me. There was a little bit of light in the room because there is a window right behind the dryer. The curtains were pretty heavy but there was some moonlight or maybe the neighbor's porch light coming through. This part is really strange but the person sitting against the dryer looked just like a girl I went to school with at the time. I remember being completely stupefied as to what she was doing there but the fact that I was almost sure it was her was, I think, why I didn't immediately flip out and start yelling. There were a few things about her that should have clued me that it wasn't her but you have to understand this part all happened in what seems like maybe a few seconds? I mean now that I have time to think about it I remember she looked much smaller than she is. Her face seemed to be the right size but the body was too small. She was wearing what looked like a dark hooded sweatshirt with the hood up. She was just sitting there staring at me. Her eyes looked really white and pronounced. And I mean like they were almost luminescent. I don't really know how to describe them other than that. But in what seemed like just a couple or 3 seconds she started to move closer to me. It was only her eyes I could see after that. I mean I was completely fixed on them. I know I was still awake but it was like the rest of my surroundings just kind of faded away and all I could see were her eyes moving steadily toward me as if she was just scooting across the floor at me. They never bobbed up and down or moved from side to side. Just steadily coming at me. Like a camera zooming in is the best way I could describe it. I don't think I had any control over myself from that point on. I wasn't attempting to struggle, speak, run or anything like that but I don't think I could have if I'd have wanted to. Her eyes came to the point where it seemed like they were maybe an inch from my face. Then, (maybe a few more seconds later??) her eyes changed. The size I remember remained about the same and were maybe only slightly larger than normal but not by much. But now they were yellow. I mean really rich bright yellow. The pupils were like vertical slits now too. Just like cat's eyes. At that point my surroundings faded into view again. And I realized I wasn't in the utility room anymore. I was laying in my bed on my back staring right up into the face of this damned thing. Like in the utility room, there was enough dim light coming through the windows in my bedroom to be able to make things out. I was still sort of fixed on the eyes but I could also make out the face pretty well. It was really ugly. The face was really wrinkled and nasty looking. I am almost certain the skin was just black. I mean there wasn't a lot of light but I could tell that it was really really dark like charcoal. It didn't have lips that I could see but there was definitely a mouth, just a slit but it was there. I'd almost have to draw the nose for you to be able to describe it but it had 2 small nostrils and was obviously a nose. It was wearing a hood of some kind. Earlier I described the girl wearing a hooded sweatshirt but what I saw now looked like a different fabric. I just mean it looked much thinner, not thick like you'd think of a sweatshirt hood. It looked lighter in color than the thing's skin. Like maybe it was grey? Anyway there was a pressure on my chest. This thing was either sitting on top of me or was standing next to the bed holding me down. It wasn't crushing pressure but still very firm. At this point I remember becoming completely terrified and panic set in. But I was paralyzed. I couldn't yell out, I couldn't move at all. I was completely aware and awake but couldn't move a muscle. I WAS able to move my eyes a little because I remember focusing for a second on the window to the right of this thing and then looking back at the face. But I couldn't look down. I couldn't focus on it's body or anything else at the level of the bed. Whatever the thing was it was just hideous looking. And it had an expression on it's face like it was really angry. I remember feeling like this thing hated my guts. I mean I could just tell it's intentions were not good at all. Like it knew I was terrified and wanted me to be. This part lasted longer. It seemed like a whole minute or at least a half a minute that this went on. Then suddenly, it shoved me downward really hard into the bed and ran away. I could hear the thing run across the floor in my room. I could hear distinct footfalls as it left. I only caught a quick glimpse of it moving away from the bed. It went toward the foot of the bed and disappeared from my view. I was really freaking out but I still couldn't make any noise or move. It wasn't too long after this I was finally able to get some sound out. It was tough at first but I managed to yell out for my dad. I was in a complete panic. I mean flipping out. My door flew open a few seconds later and my mom and dad are both standing there. I did the best I could to tell them what happened. Dad was actually kind of concerned about it. I mean I don't think he quite believed what I said had happened but I remember him going in and making sure the front and back doors were locked and all. They both thought I had just had a nightmare and tired to calm me down. They hung out in my room for a few minutes and went back to bed. They left my door and theirs open for the rest of the night. Their room was just across the hallway from mine and they were so close I could look right through there and see my dad laying in bed. In my mind I knew somehow that the thing was gone. I mean I never got the feeling it was hiding in my closet or anything like that. I knew it actually left and didn't think it would be back that night. I was still pretty scared about the whole thing but I did fall asleep after a while. the next morning I woke up and my mom was in my room. Dad had gone to work already. She got onto me about my window being open. Now I know for a fact I did not have my window open the night before. Besides it wasn't just the glass that was up, the actual screen was up too. This part of it kinda baffles me because I don't know why mom and dad wouldn't have noticed it being up when they ran into my room. But then they never did turn my light on that night. One of them had turned on the hallway light as they came in and it only lit up the area of the head and middle of my bed when my door was open. So maybe nobody noticed it. Either that or it was opened sometime afterward. I do know that when the thing took off away from me the direction it was moving was toward that window. I told mom that I never opened the window and she just dropped the issue without arguing. (Years later I found out that she didn't argue with me because she believed something strange had happened and didn't want to scare the hell out of me by saying so.)
This is all I can remember about what happened that night. I wasn't right for a long time after that. I became really afraid of hanging out at home alone when mom and dad would go out on Fridays. I started sleeping with the TV on in my room and this is something that continues to this day. Not so much the not wanting to be home alone but the part about not being able to sleep without some light and noise in the room. I'm 32 years old now with 2 kids. I tried really hard to force this out of my mind for years after but things have happened over the course of time that bring it back into mind. Years later (I would have been about 20 at the time), my now ex-wife and I had a really strange and intense UFO encounter on a country road just outside Xenia. (I don't believe this is related) In fact you may be somewhat familiar with it. I actually emailed a report of it around 6 years later to Kenny Young, (may he rest in peace, I just heard about his passing away recently) after listening to a radio show where he was a guest. I had always wondered if anyone else in the area had seen what she and I saw that night and Kenny shocked me with a reply stating that not only had others seen it but that it was right around the same time and involved quite a few different witnesses. It was back in the late spring/early summer of '93. I won't take up more time by going into detail about it here but the night it happened, my ex and I went straight over to my grandmother's house afterward and my sister was there visiting. It was really late and grandma had already gone to bed but my sister was up watching TV on the couch. My sister is one of the only people I know who I would have feel comfortable discussing it with so we sat down and told her what had happened out on McPhereson Rd. earlier. We actually ended up driving back out there with my sister in the car, she wanted to see if they were still flying around. But later when we got back to grandma's house she told me something that really blew me away. Somehow we got on the subject of some strange things she remembered happening at our house as a child. She told me that she remembered waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a bluish light that appeared to be coming from the living room. She said that she got out of bed and walked into the living room and that the light was coming in through the window there. She said that she was sure it wasn't moonlight and that it was really odd looking. She says that at that point she remembers heading back to bed and something rounding the corner from the bathroom area and appearing right in her path. She describes it as a "black blob." Like a void. Does that make sense? Then she says that behind it she sees ME. She says I'm floating down the hallway on my back behind this thing. It doesn't seem to pay any attention to her at all. She said she remembers feeling like I was in trouble and she wanted to run up and yank me away from it but that she couldn't. All she could do was just walk back into her bedroom and lay down. You know, she's telling me this and I'm in total shock because I never mentioned anything about what had happened to me when I was 13. It would have scared her to death back then. Anyway she goes on to tell me about another time when she woke up startled by something that she says sounded like a baby crying. She said it only went on for a few seconds that she can remember but that sounded just like a baby. She said that she looked over to her left and right there sitting in the corner of her room was a hideous looking thing with bright yellow eyes. I swear Donnie I immediately got covered with goose bumps when she said that. She went on describing the exact same creature I had seen. I stopped her right there and told her what I remember happening to me. We sat up until something like 5 AM talking about it. She told me that with her, it wasn't just once or twice. She said that there were several instances of things like that throughout her childhood at home. It wasn't long after that we both talked to mom about it. That's when I found out that mom herself had some really strange things happen over the course of her life. I don't know if any of it is related but I understand now why she didn't argue with me too much over the window being open that morning. Some unexplained things had happened to her in the past and I think she was able to relate.
I don't get to see as much of my sister now, she's married and lives in New Mexico. She comes home twice a year and we still talk about it almost every time. We both wonder if anyone else out there has seen this damn thing. I don't ever want to see it again and quite frankly I hope the thing is dead but it really bothers me not knowing what it was or where it came from. And it bugs me to think that maybe there are other people out there who have been through this and are feeling just like me and my sister. I'm really hesitant to join any kind of "abductee group" or anything like that because I've done alot of reading on the net and it just looks to me like what those people, for the most part, say happened to them is alot different. Alot of them say they see those grey large eyed aliens and that they are told that humanity must change or the planet will be destroyed and all the rest of it. I know this probably sounds closed-minded and hypocritical but I just have a really hard time believing alot of that. I mean I can't say for sure that people like that are lying because I don't know them. But I do know that what happened to my sister and I was real. And whatever this thing was it wasn't concerned about helping me, communicating with me, being friendly or any of that. This thing was just foul. I don't think I'd have much in common with most of the people in those groups. So that probably leaves me with few options for answers. You caught my attention however because you are local and because I remember Kenny mentioning you in his reply email to my sighting. I also got to see a short video of you where you were reporting on an area ufo case and you struck me as a straight forward just the facts kind of person. You are a great presenter I might add lol! In all honesty when I watched that video it was no different than watching a report on NBC or CBS. I was struck by your nack for reporting. Although I feel like the things you discuss as a reporter are much more interesting than the stuff that comes out of the mouths of most of the mainstream media reporters.
At any rate I don't mind talking to you about it if you need anything else. I couldn't spit every detail out here, I think my email is already long enough. Have you had any similar cases come across your desk before? Has anyone else described seeing this same creature? If so was it in this area? This would have been around the fall of '85 or '86.
I spoke with Jimmy by phone. I found his story and UFO sighting extremely interesting. I'm hoping that one day he will agree to a regression and also I'd like to speak with his sister. I asked Jimmy some questions and was able to get more information about his history of possible abductions which I believe are still on going. Here is what he related to me by phone.
Jimmy told me that he has found marks on his body. One particular instance he has found a burn like triangle on his arm. His daughter has seen small Christmas like lights in her room. He has seen more then one UFO. He says his dog will bark loudly at unseen objects in the woods. He has experienced nose bleeds. He claims that recently he and his girlfriend saw an unexplained fog in a field near his house. From the fog came a terrible smell if sewage or rotten eggs. Later helicopters circled the fogged area. Jimmy says as a child he was frightened by images of aliens. Jimmy says he has unexplained ringing in his ears. Street lights go out when he walks under them. He does have American Indian in his heritage. About 1/16 he believes. Jimmy says that he craves vinegar and salt which I have heard from other abductees.
These are just a few of the things Jimmy told that makes me believe he is an abductee and likely is still being abducted. If Jimmy agrees to a regression at some point. It will be posted here.
